Is it Spring yet?

I know, I know...I shouldn't whine. Home is where Gerry is, right? Somehow, though, this is not how I pictured spending our golden years.

These pix show things as they were about 6 am today (you should be able to click on them and see the larger, more detailed versions):

And then around 1 pm today:

Murphy wonders when he can go out the back door again:

And this is what it looks like when you take a photo of snow with a flash while it's dark:I have to remind myself, often, of the time we spent apart, and how much more unhappy I was being without him, but in a warm climate. We women may make the home, but we can't make it to our specifications unless our men are happily and gainfully employed! When I remember those bad but warmer times, I'm quickly reminded of how difficult it is for us to be apart, so...I can endure!

Leave it to Kai to say this: I think you are SO LUCKY! You get to be together with your sweetheart AND you get - sigh - SNOW! I've given up on the sweetheart part, but I'm not giving up on the snow yet! LOL!

About Me

I’m an incredibly fortunate Baby Boomer. My life has been filled with joy, challenges, and learning opportunities. My three adult children, their spouses, my beautiful granddaughters, and my amusing pets all color my life. (Though no one is more colorful or amusing than my dear husband, Oldtimer!) My childhood was unusual and my parents unique (Lolo was an astrologer before most people knew what that was; Hawkshaw a WWII vet who lost both legs), which, combined with enough moves to put me in nine different schools in 12 years, gives a different perspective on life experiences.
In my spare time, I work in my "tree house" of sewing and art projects (now on the ground floor, but still amidst greenery and overlooking water), as well as my soap kitchen, where I make beautiful luxury soaps and lotions.
I like to work, love home decor projects, travel eagerly, embrace non-mainstream spirituality, and am grateful for *something* every single day.
